Controversial Florida Senate bill bans minors from drag shows, sparks backlash from Democrats and LGBTQ community

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:03:07 GMT

Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and other members of the community are set to speak out around 10 a.m. on Wednesday in opposition to the Florida Senate-passed bill preventing children from attending drag shows.They argue that the language of the bill is too ambiguous, raising concerns that it could lead to a chilling effect on businesses hosting drag shows and even prompt cities in Florida to deny permits for Pride parades.The Republican-controlled Florida Senate passed a controversial bill on Tuesday that would prohibit minors from attending drag shows, even if their parents consent. Under the proposed legislation, organizers and performers could be fined and possibly face criminal charges, including imprisonment, if the performance is deemed “lewd” by authorities.Opponents of the bill argue that it is an infringement on the freedom of expression and would harm the state’s LGBTQ community. The bill will now move to the House for a fi...

LONDON — New British financial sanctions will be levelled against “fixers” hiding money for high-profile Russian oligarchs Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov, the U.K. Foreign Office today announced.The fresh sanctions are being targeted at people who have “knowingly assisted sanctioned Russia oligarchs to hide their assets,” which includes family members of several sanctioned individuals.Abramovich is the former owner of Chelsea Football Club, and a friend of Vladimir Putin.
